The getUpAgain Programme in New Zealand – just started!

The Cerebral Palsy Society of New Zealand has begun this programme to address the need for people to access counsellors. 'Certainly there are times in all our lives where things can get us down, but we have to get up again and get on with our lives. Members with CP, or their main family carer, are eligible to apply for this programme. The idea is to allow you access to a counsellor in a reasonably short space of time.'
